Erin Andrews and Charisa Thompson have decided to speak out against those who criticize Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, vehemently defending the influential power couple on their latest episode of the ‘Calm Down’ podcast.
During the podcast, Andrews dismissed the notion that Taylor Swift is detrimental to the NFL, emphasizing that negative opinions about the pop star’s impact on the league are unfounded. Thompson supported her co-host, humorously pointing out, ‘I’ve got 35 million reasons she ain’t running the NFL, so let’s just go ahead and check the books on that one. Knock it off.’
Andrews highlighted the impressive viewership of the 49ers’ NFC Championship matchup with the Lions, stating that it was the most-watched conference title game in 12 years. She countered the idea that Swift’s presence negatively affects the league, urging detractors to relax and not let it bother them.
The Fox Sports lead NFL sideline reporter referred to Colin Cowherd’s perspective on his show, emphasizing that during a three-and-a-half-hour game, Swift was shown on TV for only 25 seconds. She encouraged everyone to calm down, dismissing the controversy as baseless.
Sharing a conversation with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Andrews revealed that they discussed the positive impact of Swift’s presence on the league. She highlighted the excitement generated among young girls who are now interested in watching the NFL, viewing it as a positive development.

The overall message from Andrews and Thompson is to encourage people to focus on the positive aspects and appreciate the joy and enthusiasm that events like Swift and Kelce’s celebrations bring, rather than finding fault with everything.
